Most the radiation is in the dust.at the center of roads and on the concrete much of the dust washes away with the rain, so you would expect to see radiation concentrations in areas nearby. In the US you will find a similar pollution magnification also about 1 M from the road.
I felt the same way. and at the same time it reminded me of the ghost towns in the sierras that I have visited. there too you feel unnerved by the silence and the items just left sitting there unmoved for decades, and the odd decay that they undergo.
adding on 1.I would like semi tractor trailers that can jack knife in an accident 2. Multi player. 3. bring back the semi open ended mission structure of GTA 1, where you don't have to keep repeating the same mission over and over again if you can't quite pull it off. 4. more and bigger explosions (think tanker trucks, gas stations) 5. make the properties interact with each other (ie a mission that opens in one property only after you have purchased another
I find the most fun way to do this mission is to fight my way to the trash truck and then the goons in the comets just bounce off you. much more satisfying than the helo method (unless you use the apache, but that is another post)
most TV screens hold a decent amount of staic electricity (positive charge if I remeber right) and sicne you are grounded to the earth which holds a slight negitive charge the peice of paper also has this negitive charge. opposite charges attract, thus the paper sticks.
I suppose a large mirror on the wall is more attractive than the curent blank black surface that my TV is showing me right now. I just can't help but think that this tv would have nasty glare issues and at the same time wouldn't be that great of a mirror
If a cell phone rings in a theater (or classroom or meeting or wherever..) for a moment you think what is that, who is being so rude. for even the three seconds before a semi polite owner can find the off switch part of your attention has been shifted, a carefully crafted moment in a movie has been shattered. A point made by a speaker has been lost
But some cars have vital functions in damn strange locations, these changes can have you running around just as confused as Joe. short story
A freind of mine got drunk at a party and I had to drive him home (in his car). he was beyond incoherent when I loaded him into his late 80's Saab. I sat in the drivers seat, found the standard controls, including the headlights, but not where to stick the keys. I went back inside and I had to ask a half dozen people before somebody knew that the ignition switch was on the center console behind the shifter (under some random crap)
You are not being picky, that shit is annoying and the marketroid that thought it up probibly got told by his web designer that it was a bad idea. of course to be fair you were probibly not going to buy this.
Offtopic stupid story several years ago (more than five) I lived in a midwest state that had a truly annoying auto dealer radio ad (much much worse than most). This ad was had all the worst aspects of country music and was played on the rock station I listened to. well one day I was driving along and spotted this dealership, I had time to kill so I pulled in and started looking at one of their nicest fully loaded 4x4s. The sales dude approached I made nice talk about how interested I was in the truck ("hell I don't even need to test drive it"). so we went in for the paper work he set it down I read the header and said "this is %insert dealername%?". The salesguy said yes and I told him that their ad annoyed me so much that I wasn't interestd anymore, and I walked off. Two weeks later they had a different less annoying ad
Plugins are considered a stand alone program, and as long as you distubute it as a plugin without distrubitng Gimp you can release a closed source plugin, and you can charge what you like for it, much as macromedia has released a closed source flash plugin for Mozilla (that I don't use)
Responding to your troll on an offtopic thread, but... by the time DDT was banned in industrialized countries, it was already fairly ineffective against mosqutoes, due largly to over use. In fact most pesticides are only effective for a few years before the pests they are designed to kill evolve effective defenses against them. DDT just also killed birds so it was banned before it no longer killed any insects.
Jayne firing his gun inside of a spare spacesuit (Because duh, explosions require oxygen) was awesome.
To be chemicaly acurate firing a gun in space would require no oxygen from outside, as the gun powder contains its own oxidizer (in fact on most guns there is an air tight seal around the bullet and casing. In fact all high explosives require no external oxygen. Most explosives work by freeing nitrogen from an unstable compound and from it forming N2 gas and a bunch of thermal energy.
firing a gun in space would produce higher muzzle velocities as ther would be no air in the barrel to slow down its exit from the barrel and would also increase the pressure diferential between the firing chamber and the enviroment.
However if you want a good reason for the gun to be in a space suit I might suggest insulation from the temperature extremes of space.
Cutting edge PC games will suffer, but I feel that losing major publishing and dev houses to consoles will contiue to make PC gaming a place where small independant teams can make a game have reasonable commercial success, be bought out and... rinse lather repeat
If you smack yourself silly with a frying pan or cut yourself with a knife (you own one of those too I assume), and some govermental agent is aware of this action, You will be hauled off as being suicidal and locked up for a couple of weeks untill you no longer are a "threat to yourself or others". so this would lend credence to the "Govt. owns your butt theory" and they would prefer you not damage it.
When you are using Moz and on a major site look down at the right corner of the screen you should see a yellow explosion looking thing. This indicates a popup could have happened on this page. Now you know which sites have popups.
My Grandfather (who is teaching me to use it) has told me repeatedly that bamboo slide rules do not do strange expansion inaccuracies that can come up in a metal slide rule due to expansion from heat. Of course my dad has a plastic slide rule that I would assume would also not have this problem.
I am still running my soundblaster 16 card and my Super VGA grafix card (with No onboard memory) both origanaly out of a 486 but now sitting in my 333 that still runs like a champ and I can't come up with a good reason to replace.

you can play the sims on linux

Thank god you found that I was begining to feel stupid, but it was the easiest close source plugin for an open source program I could think of
No Shit, I trust a random chunk of goverment code on my boxen slightly less than a chunk of Microsoft code.
more reasons to go open source

PR relations is actually an office I saw at a news radio station. It was the guy who had to deal with other companies PR folks.

This makes the basic assumption that there are any productive members of the Goverment. This assumption is not nessisarily true
